The Faber-Castell sets will encourage your child’s natural curiosity and help her/him acquire the basic knowledge and skills required for getting a good start in school.
The Snip! Snap! Snip! Zoo provides a fun way to train and develop your child’s fine motor skills. By cutting out the tiny little zoo animals, your child will learn to hold and use a pair of children’s scissors which were specifically designed for contour cutting, while being tailored to the ergonomic needs of small children’s hands. Apart from that, folding and putting together the animal figures and the zoo enclosure promotes your child’s three-dimensional visualisation of the world.
The Circus of Bold, Sweeping Lines provides a fun way to develop fine motor skills that prepare kids for writing. The ergonomically shaped barrel of the twist pencil was especially designed for small children’s hands. It has a soft, non-slip surface, and the extra-thick pencil lead (1.4mm) is perfectly suited for drawing first sweeping lines. As unfamiliar graphomotor movements may put some severe strain on those little hands, the Circus of Bold, Sweeping Lines contains instructions for stretching exercises helping to loosen up your child’s finger muscles.
Children look forward to the day when they are allowed to write with a fountain pen for the very first time. In a way which is easily understood by children, the Learning to Write is Great Fun Set explains how to properly grip a fountain pen, while pointing out the most important points to be kept in mind when writing. Apart from that, it provides a lot of space for practising graphomotor skills as well as instructions for loosening up exercises.
The Jumbo Colouring Book helps your child acquire the basic principles of various drawing techniques in a playful way. Double-page spreads offer easy-to-understand exercises teaching your child how to design magic flowers, rainbow butterflies and spotty monsters. The water-soluble Faber-Castell Jumbo GRIP coloured pencils will turn these exercises into an exciting and effective drawing experience for children, while supporting the three-finger grip due to their ergonomic triangular shape.
